unwanted emails

Be careful what you open, sweetie. Mine was hacked like that and i was ssoo pissed. Next time, delete it. TATA.

It's possible that your friend's email was hacked but it's much more likely that her email address and yours are on a spammer's list. It is quite common for spammers to put one of the addresses in the From: field so that it looks as though the email comes from someone different. If you look at the full header of the email, there will be several IP addresses showing the path the email took to get to you. One of these is the actual IP address that the mail was sent from. It is possible (but not very productive) to check where in the world that is. The fact that this happened after you had linked your credit card to PayPal is just coincidence.

I have a few email addresses and I get unwanted emails all the time. I used to believe that most of the emails are real, and now majority of them are spam mails. Usually, whenever I get these emails in any of my email addresses, I would delete them, send them into the junk mail and empty them. Most email senders have an automated system that would automatically send these unwanted emails into any email account for money.

Hi, mrfdg1972. I get many of these too. I don't like having them at all. I am unsure where these emails are coming from. I hope that your friend has nothing to do with this at all. The best thing to do would be to block anymore further emails from being sent to you by an unknown source.

I get a lot of unwanted emails. The best thing to do with them is to delete them. if they don't interest me, I do not open them. Time is too important to be wasting on unwanted emails that you didn't ask for in the first place.

friend, i also problem sam with you. every day a lots unwanted email in my inbox. How to stop this spam email to my inbox. any tips to avoid unwanted email?. Please help me already tired removed or delete this email, everyday need to clean.

not thing to worry, if your doubting that some one as access to your id, check the ip tracking (available in gamil). ip tracking gives you every information from were some as logged in you account (if any). if there is an ip address apart from yours, then contact gmail service, changing passwords or recovery password answers doesn't work. (depends on the one who hacked) if there is no ip address apart from yours, then just ignore the mail, your id must have know to them or your friends id. ask her to check her account.....

I get those types of e-mail all of the time. They are spam mails, sent by people who can make the e-mail look like it came from someone you know. Quite often if you use an add-supported service, bots often collect information in order to "personalize" the adds you see around your inbox. Thease bots can collect data, like how many contacts you have, as well as use cookie technology in order to personalize your contact l list. ex: most frequently e-mailed etc. And this unforuntally is a legel pratice. It doesn't nesserally mean you're being hacked. Nor does it mean connecting your credit card through pay pal was to blame. You've already done the most obvious, but also you can use a third-party non-web-based client to send and receive e-mails. There are several out there. Generally computers come with one, but you can also download thunderbird, and windows mail too. You have to log in, but that only allows you to send/receive e-mail. Contact lists, are kept seperate as the contact list remains on the web, and doesn't automatically get downloaded to your computer. If you want to download your contact list, you have to "import" it yourself, giving you complete control over your e-mail. Whereas you, and your provider can gain access through bots to send you spam. Plus botts can easily be hacked, and foe programs created. Sometimes those are random, but not always. The e-mail adresses I've had the most spam like what you discribed, were Windows Live, and Gmail. By using Windows Mail for my e-mail needs, I hardly if ever get spam mail. And, on the plus side I don't have to deal with anoying adds unless I'm away from my home computer... being its a laptop, not likely to happen.

I received random and unwanted emails a lot too., some are from my own contacts and some from people i haven't heard of before they sent me spams and all the useless junks in the mail.. I get annoyed of course because I get excited when I open my email and see the number of new mails in my inbox.., only to be disappointed when i see where are these coming from and what are the content of these messages.., such a waste of time..=)

I also got a lot of unwanted e mails and most of them are just bogus.be careful a lot of scams in the internet were asking for money, don't trust immediately.
